Welcome to this week’s newsletter.
Just a heads up that there will not be a newsletter for the next two weeks in this territory. In preparation for election armageddon here in the US, I will be heading to my underground bunker in an undisclosed location until the smoke clears.* Assuming the internet still exists, I will post a double issue on or shortly after November 18.
Adjust your tinfoil hats and hunker down.
Thanks to everyone who contributed, and try to have a good week.

Top 5 Posts Of The WeekTop 5 Posts Of The Week
There will be a zap award for the top 5 posts weekly. It will be broken down as follows:
- 1000 sats (or higher if threshold is met)
- 250 sats (or higher if threshold is met)
- 250 sats (or higher if threshold is met)
- 250 sats (or higher if threshold is met)
- 250 sats (or higher if threshold is met)
Average daily territory income this week:
1513 sats
Threshold:
2000
Therefore, the awards will will not be boosted this week.
Posts will be judged using SN zaprank. The cut off time is 9:00am EST (1300GMT) Friday morning. I will post the top 5 winners shortly after 9:00am every Friday morning.
I reserve the right to not award any sats for the week. I also reserve the right to deny sat awards to bare link posts. I recognize that link posts can be valuable, so I will only only exercise discretion for low quality links that garner few sats or engagement from stackers.

DarthCoin’s GuidesDarthCoin’s Guides
DarthCoin is a somewhat controversial figure with a manner that may take some getting used to, but I think his guides are excellent as step by step instruction. The sentence structure might be unconventional, and he may express some strong opinions, but you will learn what he has set out to teach you.
Here is a link to DarthCoin’s Substack Page, where you can find all of DarthCoin’s guides:

Top Posts Of All TimeTop Posts Of All Time
Here you will find a few of the top posts that have been posted to this territory. I am not going to adhere to a rigid zaprank system, since my purpose is to highlight content that has educational value. I will use an informal combination of zaprank and my own evaluation. For instance, some posts, though of high quality, are solely about Stacker News, and might have more appropriately originated as a meta post.

No fitness app for me.
Good to know you have a election proof bunker!
As always Darth's posts are great to learn new things.
Do you think I should write more guides?
Are not enough these?
Why not? You should keep on writing. Enough or not I can't say.
I hope you've stocked up on groceries. The Americans' spirits will be high! Have a good vacation! AHhahah
